This study was carried out in a building located in Antalya in order to determine the optimum combinations

of different levels of improvement and PV panel use in existing buildings in terms of energy

saving and LCC. Within the framework of TS 825 Thermal Insulation Rules in Buildings, which is the

national standard in Turkey, three different levels of insulation in walls, roofs, floors and windows and

three different numbers of PV panels for energy production were determined. 18 different alternatives

obtained using the orthogonal array for five factors with three levels analyzed have been made. In terms

of energy savings, the scenario with the highest levels of insulation for walls, roofs, floors and windows

and the use of 12 PV panels is the optimum combination that produces all of its energy needs and

switches to surplus energy with +KW after consumption. In terms of LCC, the alternative with 12 PV

panels, where wall, floor and windows are the highest and the roof is insulated at level 2, is the best

combination. PV panel integration was found to be the most effective parameter in terms of energy

savings and LCC.
